10/3
Overcame inexperience on only start in bumpers and again looked a good prospect sent hurdling after 7 months off at Stratford (16.3f). Lost his unbeaten record with a bit of a whimper at Warwick since but worth another chance.

Maiden Irish pointer who improved on hurdling debut when second of 14 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 21 days ago, running on. Respected.

Timeform
Some promise in a bumper but not so much in 2 maiden hurdles.

Promising second in bumper at Uttoxeter before shaping like a stayer on hurdles bow there 3 weeks ago (seemed clueless about jumping).

Showed something in bumpers but down the field at a big price both starts over hurdles. Looks more of a handicap type.

£160,000 4-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to smart hurdler/chaser Bright New Dawn and useful bumper winner/useful 2m hurdle winner Lyrical Theatre. Won only start in Irish points and shaped encouragingly starting out under Rules when fourth of 15 in novice hurdle over C&D. May well do better.

Forecasts

Out Of Office (7/4), Gitche Gumee (10/3), Half Dozen (5/1), Ballydisco (15/2), Equinus (8/1), Torula (10/1), Inchester D'amsyl (22/1), Kap Chidley (33/1), Governor Green (33/1), Mr Biggs (66/1), Ito Ditto (80/1), Celtic Fortune (100/1), West Park Boy (125/1), Lookingdandy (150/1), Inspector Lynley (300/1), Invincible De Mee (300/1)

Verdict

OUT OF OFFICE made an eye-catching debut when fourth over C&D 8 weeks ago and the 7 lb he receives from penalised-winner Gitche Gumee may prove decisive. Half Dozen is another who should be involved.
